Chapter 16 Shock


    "Get your ass down here, you useless bastard!"


    "Shame you. You just tarnished our family name!"


    A massive amount of scolding came at Darren in waves.


    Not far away, several elders also noticed Darren''s performance. Although their facescked any


    emotion, they were watching in disbelief. Darren did not seem to show any trace of exhaustion despite


    everything that he had been doing. This was impossible.


    Abner actually got a glimmer of hope when he learned that Darren''s talent had been promoted. He


    always felt that there was something more to this young man. But now, it seemed that he was even


    more than what he expected.


    Only the guard of the Martial Skill Libraryughed quietly as he watched him on the stage because he


    knew how difficult it was to understand the Profound Nine Sword Skills.


    "Darren, do you really have to bring so much shame to the Chu family? If you drop out now, I, Nichs,


    give you a personal guarantee that I will help save your ass from Evan''s uncle," Nichs pretended to


    be looking after the interests of the Chu family.


    "No need," Darren stepped forward and responded faintly.


    "Don''t be too stubborn!" Darren''s refusal made Nichs angry. ''How dare you publicly oppose me, the


    future chief? Do you want to die?'' he thought but decided to keep it to himself.


    "Okay, show us what you''ve learned now so that we can move on to the next test soon," a disciple of


    the Ilmen Sect urged.


    Darren went to the particr dummy and found that it had the same meridians as that of a real person.


    Darren''s hands were like that of a phantom wandering around the dummy and filling it with spiritual


    energy that spread through the dummy''s meridians in the most perfect trajectories.


    "So skillful," one disciple of Ilmen Sectmented as he watched by the sidelines. His eyes lit up, "The


    firstyer, perfectprehension. Great!"


    Everyone was astonished when they heard him.


    "What? He did nothing wrong? Perfectprehension?"


    "Yeah, that''s what I heard too! Perfectprehension!"


    Someone whispered.


    "Brother, look..." Several elders also started watching.


    "Maybe he just got lucky. Perhaps his knowledge ends at the firstyer. It also could be a beginner''s


    luck. He still has no future. We shouldn''t be too impressed." The Chief Elder wasn''t swayed. He was


    firm in his own view.


    Then, Darren began to realize the secondyer of the Meridians Refining Scripture to wash the


    impurities left in the meridians.


    Just seven or eight minutester, drops of ck liquid came out from the dummy''s body. After using


    water to wash it away, the dummy started to give off a different light.


    "The secondyer, perfectprehension!"


    Everyone was surprised again. The secondyer was also realized? ''Still perfect! The loser was just


    sleeping on the tform. How did he do it?


    He also achieved perfectprehension on the secondyer! He just surpassed the abilities of the


    majority of the people who took the test. He''ll pass and qualify for the next test just as long as he has


    managed toprehend the thirdyer!'' everyone watching thought.


    The disciples of Ilmen Sect seemed satisfied. ''Achieving perfectprehension of the first twoyers


    already shows that this juvenile is actually quite talented. How fascinating. Let''s see how far he can go,


    '' they thought.


    Chu n members and other bystanders, however, were starting to feel angry. ''How can this piece of


    shit realize twoyers and achieve perfectprehension?''


    "Darren, I don''t care what method you are using to cheat. Get out of there or else, we''ll have a


    problem!"


    Nichs and the other two geniuses from the Chu family shot at Darren. They were still skeptical about


    his ability to realize the twoyers with perfectprehension.


    "What''s the matter? Are you scared? Scared that I''ll be better than you?" Darren was defiant. "Let''s see


    who''s the loser."


    The three geniuses became nervous. Darren was right.


    "You can only win in your dreams!" In his rage, Nichs stepped forward and confronted the disciples


    of the Ilmen Sect, "Brothers, this guy is surely cheating! Do everything you can to find out how he is


    doing it!"


    "Yes! We have known this kid all his life. Everyone knows how mediocre he is. It''s impossible for him to


    understand the Meridians Refining Scripture without cheating!" the other two added.


    "How dare you! Do you doubt Jimmy''s judgment? No one dares to cheat under his watch!" An Ilmen


    Sect disciple shouted from the other side. "And do not call us ''Brother''. From what I know, it''s still


    unknown whether your talent is enough to enter Ilmen Sect," he added.


    The man''s words silenced Nichs. Feeling helpless, cold sweat came out of his forehead.


    "Continue," Jimmy Li, the leader of these disciples from Ilmen Sect, told Darren.


    Results were starting to show. The audience watched in silence as Darren exerted the Meridians


    Refining Scriptureyer byyer.


    "The third level, perfectprehension."


    "The fourth and fifthyers, perfectprehension!"


    The results of Darren''s test were so shocking!


    No one spoke. Everyone watched.


    Now, Darren could say that he surpassed Nichs. For the fifthyer, Nichs had only a middle-level


    ''That''s incredible!'' thought everyone who was there.


    In the distance, the few Chu family elders who watched were also stunned. ''How did that happen?'' they


    thought in disbelief.


    "Perfectprehension of five levels? Wow!" they eximed.


    "How incredible! Even the young master Nichs only had high-levelprehension for the first few


    "Am I dreaming?"


    The formerly quiet training ground suddenly started to grow noisy.


    Seeing this, the Chief Elder''s vision was suddenly blurred and his lips started trembling.


    "He..." The Chief Elder wanted to speak but could not seem to find the words.


    The other families in the Chu n were also in a state of shock, especially Evan''s family.


    "Brother, how can this little bastard be so talented? Would you know if he cheated?" Evan''s mother


    asked Stan.


    Stan''s brows were wrinkled but there was nothing he could say. He knew that Darren could not have


    cheated.


    On stage, the three so-called geniuses were the most dumbfounded of them all.


    The disciples of Ilmen Sect were very excited. Darren''s achievement of doing fiveyers of perfect


    n.


    Jimmy, the leader, seemed to be the most pleased. "I did not expect Chu to have such a genius. Darren


    will have a very promising future!"


    Jimmy was an excellent disciple who joined Ilmen Sect with a level nine talent of the Yellow Degree. At


    that time, he only achieved perfectprehension for the first fiveyers. The sixth level was highly


    It seemed that Darren''s martial arts talent was no worse than his.


    "Brother, did you get toprehend the sixthyer?"


    Jimmy''s question echoed throughout the hall turning everyone''s attention back to Darren.


    Jimmy just called Darren ''Brother'', which meant that Darren was just invited to join the Ilmen Sect!


    "Yes, Brother," Darren replied, returning the title in eptance.


    "Brother Darren, show us!" The Ilmen Sect disciples who watched Darren were so eager to see how he


    did the sixthyer.


    Darren then hurried to start disying the sixthyer of the Meridians Refining Scripture.


    The sixthyer of the Meridians Refining Scripture was the essence. This was more difficult to


    level nine of Yellow Degree could not perfectlyprehend. For people like Nichs whose talent was


    at seventh level or even lower levels, it would be even more difficult toprehend.

    With Darren''s techniques, white fog floated above the meridians on the dummy. Darren actually turned


    the spiritual energy into fog.


    "Ah..." Both the audience and the disciples of Ilmen Sect were in awe.


    "The meridians are connected. This is definitely a perfectprehension!"


    Jimmy dered excitedly.


    "Perfectprehension, perfectprehension!"


    Bang!


    Cheers broke out in the Chu’s training ground. Momentum soared.


    Offstage, the strongest representatives of each family also looked dumbfounded. Why didn''t they see


    Darren''s talent before?


    The Chief Elder''s facial muscles twitched recalling how he oppressed Darren. Regret filled him for what


    he did.


    "Brother, I have already reminded you that there is more to Darren than you have expected. Now, he


    got the chance to prove himself. How about I give him an apology on your behalf?" Abner looked at


    Darren. It was clear that Darren never felt like he belonged to the Chu n. Now, he could sense that


    the Chu n had lost himpletely after what had happened today.


    "Bullshit!" The Chief Elder cursed. "I have always dealt with the Chu family matters with fairness. Why


    will I apologize to a young boy? He is guilty of treason for hiding his talent from the family. I will not


    punish him only if he makes amends by entering the Ilmen Sect!"


    "Hey, brother..."


    Abner said anxiously. He understood the Chief Elder well. He would never admit being wrong.


    "Everybody!" Jimmy eximed, getting everyone''s attention. "As an elite disciple of the School of


    Boxing Skill in Ilmen Sect, I hereby announce that Darren no longer needs to participate in any more


    tests. Instead, he can directly enter the Ilmen Sect and choose a school of martial arts skill three days


    After the announcement, the Chu family felt all sorts of emotions.


    Nichs and other geniuses felt so defeated. The boy they looked down on just got qualified to join the


    Ilmen Sect even withoutpleting all the tests! This was a big shock to them.


    The others felt that the contention for the chief of Chu n suddenly became moreplicated.


    The elders of the Chu family were all resentful that they did not know how to win the heart of this super


    genius that just slipped through their fingers.


    Darren, however, looked indifferent. He eyed the audience and looked at everyone, both friends and


    enemies. ''I wille back someday, '' he thought.


    "Brother, the seventhyer of the Meridians Refining Scripture is too difficult. It is something I cannot


    fullyprehend. I need your advice," Darren said.


    "What? The seventhyer?" Jimmy asked, puzzled.


    And then, he reacted. "Ah? You..."
